Sting A Newbie Question on Elvish Grammar

Good day all!

I managed to look into Sindarin and Quenya dictionaries this morning, and attempted to form some phrases. I just need someone to answer this question for me: Does an adjective come before the noun it is describing (as in the English language)? ... or does it come after the noun (like in some European languages)? ... or could an adjective come before or after and it won't matter?

For example - In English, one would say "classical music" (adjective before the noun). In french, it would be "musique classique" (adjective after the noun). How would it be in Sindarin or Quenya?

Thanks in advance!
